Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 503 Lord Naraku, the capture can begin!

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates retreated simultaneously.

Since Whitebeard left with the Moby Dick, Admiral Kizaru and Kabuto Yakushi naturally wouldn't bother with that tough nut, and the Navy set its sights on the Beasts Pirates' flagship.

Having previously observed the battle between Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki and discovered that Kaido, Naruto Uzumaki, and the Beasts Pirates' warships had separated, Kabuto Yakushi immediately seized the opportunity to devise a plan to pursue the Beasts Pirates' flagship and capture Jack the Drought.

Coincidentally, all three of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were already in place.

With a Marine Admiral, a Vice Admiral known for his strategic acumen, and three powerful Shichibukai, capturing Jack the Drought would be a piece of cake if they could just create a slight time difference.

Nobody had any reason to object.

The naval warships continued to pursue the Beasts Pirates until they reached a secluded island to rest, at which point a strange incident suddenly occurred!

"Ninja Technique: Four Red Sun Formation!"

Suddenly, red barriers appeared around the island, reaching heights of several thousand meters, so high that one could not see the top at a glance!

Just as everyone was filled with doubt, an arrogant voice came from above, echoing throughout the island: "Hashirama, this sealing technique still has flaws..."

"Ban, stop fooling around and hurry up and fix the gap!"

"Hmph... Uchiha Fire Formation!"

As that arrogant voice reached everyone's ears, a red barrier suddenly appeared in the sky, completely sealing off the island!

In an instant, the entire island was completely surrounded by these red barrier walls!

The Marines and the three Shichibukai who had just arrived on the island and were resting there seemed to be still in shock...

Admiral Kizaru scratched his head, tilting his head back in confusion. "Just now... I thought I heard Uchiha? Was I just imagining things?"

"no."

Kabuto's expression subtly changed, and he shouted, "That voice... it really does seem to be talking about the Uchiha! Let's leave this island first!"

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo waved his hand dismissively and chuckled, "Don't worry, take a rest for a while. Kabuto, I've heard you and Ms. Tsuru have a good relationship. How's she been lately?"

Doflamingo had a smile on his face... but his feelings were very complicated. He really underestimated the limits of the Akatsuki members!

Oh shit…

That Yakushi Kabuto actor really convincingly portrayed the character!

Wasn't this guy the one who set up the trap on this island?

It is said that in order to set up a trap to capture Admiral Kizaru, Kabuto Yakushi requested the mobilization of five powerful fighters from his superiors. This even delayed the Art Pirates' battle with Gecko Moria.

Really...

It seems outrageous.

"We need to be careful about everything."

Kabuto frowned slightly as he looked at the listless group. Admiral Kizaru was still lying on the ground resting, and the other Shichibukai were too lazy to move either.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and urged in a deep voice, "Admiral Kizaru, Mr. Kakuzu, Mr. Kisame, Mr. Doflamingo, to avoid missing our opportunity, let's leave this island immediately!"

"I'm so sleepy..."

Kizaru sat up with a grin, shook his head helplessly, and followed in Kabuto's footsteps. The other Shichibukai followed suit.

Although Admiral Kizaru didn't know what was going on, he wasn't panicked at all because of his immense power.

He even felt that Kabuto was making a mountain out of a molehill.

As for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they were naturally even less worried.

When the group arrived at the outer edge of the island, they discovered that the island was completely sealed off from the open sea by a red barrier, and even the seawater had stopped flowing!

"Huh..."

Admiral Kizaru stroked his chin, staring at the red barrier in surprise, and asked, "What... is this going on?"

"I don't know."

Kabuto shook his head. His figure slowly stepped across the shallow sea and walked towards the red barrier. He tried to extend his finger and place it on the barrier!

The next second, his fingers were instantly burned!

"This is a barrier as fiery as flames..."

Kabuto frowned, reached for a sword and slashed at the barrier, but saw that the barrier did not react at all.

Clearly, these barriers are very strong.

Kabuto pushed up his glasses and shook his head to himself, saying, "Impossible. I remember every island in the Grand Line that has strange powers. There shouldn't be any accidents on this island, and there shouldn't be any people on it..."

The pharmacist turned to look at everyone present and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to try to break this red barrier?"

"Then let me give it a try!"

Kisame Hoshigaki slowly closed his palms, then opened his mouth and spewed a massive torrent of water towards the red barrier: "Water Release: Water Wave!"

The water flowed onto the red barrier, and unsurprisingly, it was blocked by the red barrier and even turned into a cloud of water vapor!

"Bullet Line!"

Doflamingo casually extended a finger and fired a line of bullets, but it still had no effect on the red barrier.

Kakuzu's methods were clearly more casual.

This Shichibukai casually picked up a stone and smashed it against the red barrier without using any abilities at all; he was just going through the motions!

Because even the horn knows…

Ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against the Four Red Yang Formation!

All eyes were drawn to Kakuzu, and these gazes carried a hint of reproach, clearly showing dissatisfaction with his perfunctory attitude.

only…

Their gazes quickly returned to Kizaru.

A laser beam shot out from Kizaru's hand, and everyone watched with bated breath, as if hoping that the laser beam would work... However, when the laser beam landed on the red barrier, it had no effect whatsoever.

"It's useless..."

Kizaru's smile slowly faded, and he couldn't help but frown. "This barrier seems even more troublesome than Armament Haki defense..."

This barrier…

That's really strange!

Kizaru's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, turning into a beam of light and rushing towards the red barrier, kicking it!

Light-speed kick!

As a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, Kizaru can transform into light, allowing his body to move at the speed of light and attack at the speed of light!

Unfortunately…

This light-speed kick, powerful enough to easily break a building, was completely ineffective against this red barrier!

Even when Kizaru reverted to photon form, there was still a black fire mark on his shoes, which was the burning effect of the red barrier!

"Unshakeable..."

Kizaru glanced at the red barrier, slowly shook his head, and stroked his chin, speculating, "It seems impossible to break through it with just attacks! It feels like kicking a mountain..."

"What should we do then?"

Doflamingo grinned, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at Kizaru: "Fufufufufu... We can't stay here forever, can we?"

I still have a lot of business to handle. If it weren't for responding to the navy's call-up, I wouldn't have left my country..."

"Could it be that guy named Uchiha who did this?"

Kisame Hoshigaki picked up his Samehada sword, frowned, and said, "After all, we just heard something about the Uchiha..."

"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me."

Kakuzu shook his head indifferently, the newly appointed Shichibukai crossing his arms with obvious impatience.

The group discussed it back and forth, but came to no conclusion.

Everyone seemed to have tried their strongest attack, but still couldn't break through the red barrier, which was a bit troublesome.

Kabuto tried to contact the outside world using Den Den Mushi, but there was no signal at all; it seemed that everything here was blocked off.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and offered a suggestion: "Perhaps the internal barrier is too strong. Admiral Kizaru, could you try using elemental transformation to break through this barrier from the outside?"

"Hmm...this doesn't seem like a very reliable suggestion..."

Kizaru couldn't help but shake his head, and said softly, "This barrier is somewhat similar to the power of Haki; it's simply impossible to break through it in elemental form..."

"Feed..."

Suddenly, that arrogant voice echoed from the sky again: "How will you know if it will work or not if you don't even try!"

"Huh?"

Kizaru couldn't help but look up and survey his surroundings, asking curiously, "Who exactly are you, sir?"

"Uchiha... Madara!"

The voice was unusually arrogant when introducing itself!

Everyone present couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the name, and even Kizaru's smile gradually faded.

This past year…

Every Uchiha who shows up is a troublesome bunch!

This guy named Uchiha Madara has only just shown his face, yet he's already targeting the Marine Headquarters Admirals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

This guy…

It's definitely not that simple!

"Admiral Kizaru...leave immediately!"

Kabuto Yakushi stood beside Kizaru, his expression unusually tense. He slowly lowered his voice and said, "Please use photon transformation to leave this place immediately and quickly bring back the information from here to Marineford!"

"..."

Kizaru's expression showed a slight hint of confusion.

The Marine Admiral suppressed his smile, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Kabuto Yakushi's expression: "Really... This is a major crisis right now! And you still want to send back intelligence in this situation...?"

"yes!"

Kabuto looked at Kizaru with a calm expression, adjusted his glasses, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "After all, I'm a naval strategist who believes in intelligence above all else!"

"What a troublesome brat..."

Kizaru shook his head and sighed.

The next moment, Kizaru's figure split into countless photons!

Clusters of bright photons rapidly appeared in all directions of the island, searching for gaps or exits in the red barrier!

That's how Kizaru left!

Kizaru has never worried about being locked up; he can rely on his ability to move at the speed of light and become photon to find a suitable exit!

This world…

No one can block the power of light!

As long as there is even a crack in this island, Kizaru will be able to escape!

Unfortunately, the Four Red Sun Formation was built starting from the sea surface, sealing off this small island. There may be gaps between the barriers, but those gaps should be underwater.

"This is really troublesome..."

Countless photons reassembled to form Kizaru's body.

The admiral's clothes were charred black from being burned.

Kizaru rubbed his forehead, sighed softly, and shook his head, saying, "Commander Kabuto, we can't find any way to leave... It seems we can only continue to try to break through these barriers..."

"Um?"

Kabuto frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim. "Admiral Kizaru, can you confirm this?"

"I think we can be sure!"

Kizaru rubbed his forehead and continued slowly, "I can't detect the seabed. Perhaps there's a crevice beneath the seabed that allows us to leave..."

Kizaru did not continue speaking.

Even if there were enough gaps in the seabed for them to leave, he, a Devil Fruit user, could not go underwater to escape.

In that case...

If this group wants to leave the island, it seems that the only way is to find a way to break through the red barrier in front of them or defeat the person who set up the barrier.

Kizaru shrugged helplessly, looking at Kabuto Yakushi in front of him. Clearly, he meant for Kabuto, the Marine Headquarters staff officer, to make the decision.

Who could have predicted this…

Kabuto slowly raised his finger, a smirk playing on his lips: "Preliminary assessment indicates that Admiral Kizaru is unable to break free of the Crimson Sun Formation. We can begin!"

"...?"

A question mark slowly appeared in Kizaru's eyes.

Second update!
